Re: Telling quote from Bernstein hearing

In the recent hearing of the Bernstein case, Anthony Coppolino for the Justice Department said: "We don't care about the theory; we don't care about the idea Mr. Bernstein has, which was to take a particular type of algorithm and use it to allow for an encrypted interactive conversation. That's his idea. We don't care about his idea; we care about the result of what it can do."

[snip] Could I suggest a translation? "We're going to trust Professional Government Consultant Organization XYZ to tell us about Mr. Bernstein's idea, since we obviously won't understand Mr. Bernstein's own explanation." (And we do care about his idea, but we can't admit that, because it would make us look stupid)
